Anyone remember "The Wraith" with Charlie Sheen? I thought the car in that movie was the coolest thing I had ever seen.

my all time FAVORITE when I was younger. I walked into a movie gallery the other day and the clerk brought it in from home to watch on the tvs there. I ended up taking a lot longer to find a movie than intended (I think I was there almost an hour ).


willow was a good add too.

On the subject of tv series, does anyone remember a series called Stingray? I was only like 5 or 6 then so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but I remember it was some sort of detective guy or something like that that drove old corvette stingray's all the time.

Oh, and shows a always watched as a kid were, Transformers, GI-Joe, the A-Team, Airwolf, Knightrider, ALF, and Mageyver. And it pains me to admit it, but saturday mornings I watched Peewee's Playhouse
